Edgar at Three Months

I can't believe it...Edgar is three months old!

He's doubled his weight...from 12 lbs to 23.4 lbs today.  Now I know why  I go through a 20 lb. bag of dog food every two weeks just for him.

He barks if you're not doing something he thinks you should be doing, such feeding him. He jumps on to furniture when he's not supposed to, although I love seeing his happy face wiggling on the sofa when I walk in the door.

And his newest habit you ask? Think Charmin toilet paper commercial...yes, he loves toilet paper and will run with it through the house if you don't keep the bathroom door closed.

Life is good!

The Pink House

My daughter called this week with exciting news for us...she found a city in Indiana that would be great for us to retire...Carmel.

Her reasononing: It had an awesome mall like Fashion Island here in the OC...complete with a Nordstroms for all of her needs!

I did a little research and, although Carmel seems like a wonderful city, it would not be for me as it reminds me a lot of Irvine...planned community with cookie-cutter homes.

She did make me think..where should I retire?  Searching realtor.com lead to Oberlin, Ohio...a community I've visited quite a number of times in the past...great people, awesome quilt shops, and even a Trader Joe's close by...with decent house prices.  I think this one will do quite well:

It definitely needs a bit of spiffying-up...could I turn it into the pink house complete with awnings and pink rambling roses? I think so.....and my Pinterest boards are full of pink house ideas!
